Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

sp=180

loss=60

cp=180+60=240

loss percent =60/240*100=25%

Answer 2

A loss % is 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price of pen = Rs.180

We are given that this was rs 60 less than what A paid for it

So, Loss = 60

CP=SP+Loss

CP = 180+60

CP = 240

So, Cost price of pen = Rs.240

$Loss\% = \frac{Loss}{CP} \times 100$

$Loss\% = \frac{60}{240} \times 100$

$Loss\%=25\%$

Hence A loss % is 25%
